I just watched the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starrer 'Pretty Woman' again.. frankly, I have stopped counting how many times I have watched the movie.
What I love about the movie is the message of positive change that can transform our lives.
The circumstances we find ourselves in in our lives and the reactions we have to them, makes us start believing that we are those reactions. However, most of the times, it's just reflex action. The prolonged exposure to these circumstances just sharpen the reflexes and the tend to become our second nature; but we begin to mistake it as our basic nature. We tend to see us through these lenses and torment ourselves.
Until the moment, a positive change comes in our life and touches us at the most tender, vulnerable corners that we work all our lives to guard fearing pain. We feel that the armour we wear hides those tender points making us stronger. But, when the positive change comes in, it shatters the armour and no matter how hard we try, our emotions begin to flow - sometimes through our eyes as tears of joy or through our face as happy laughter. And it just goes on and on till we are completely healed of our pain. The scar may remain but the pain goes away....and we are reborn in a way to fulfil our true destinies.
What a beautiful movie!
